Routines are back. The weather says that summer is at its best but the calendar reminds us that School in now in full swing and we are falling back into the routines of the school year. Still time for evening campfires and even the occasionally coerced Kubb competition but the days fill up and the evenings are getting shorter. We did get Sophia dropped off at college, unpacked and starting her own adventures. We made the drive back to LaX the next weekend for Ella to get an official tour. The longest college tour we have had at almost 3 hours. She liked it and is weighing her options. I assume our stroll through Riverside park and the Woodstock festival will help a bit. Merrick and Grace are meeting friends at some of the Football games and finding their way back into socializing postish..pandemic. Grace did join Amy and I downtown for an art fest. We were caught in the rain the first day but made it back the following day to check out the completed and impressive murals that were painted. We also headed to TR for our first krautfest experience which did not disappoint and brought home about 50 pounds of 'prekraut' from the 323 pounds that were made that day at the family gathering.
